  All About Riding 
  by Clare Albinson

This book will help you to understand your horse, both mentally and physically. It will help you to ride better and to teach your horse to perform better.

It emphasises the importance of the horse’s balance, and how to achieve that. It describes the benefits of working horses on the bit, why they often don’t, and how to help them do it. It teaches how to introduce your horse to jumping, and solve most jumping problems.

It is a fascinating study into the psychology of the horse, and what makes him tick. What is he thinking? Why did he do that? Or, more often, why won’t he do this?

Learn to communicate with your horse, develop a better relationship and become the best of friends!
